Santa? Buzz Lightyear? The Tool Man? Mike Baxter? Hey, I’m still that wisecracking kid from the Midwest, looking for answers to life’s big questions.

When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband: “That man… that young man… I forgive him.”  That moment deeply affected me.  I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: “ I forgive the man who killed my father.” Peace be with you all.

It’s not ok to come up on stage and hit a dude cause you don’t like the humor. It’s not ok at a Comedy Club, concert hall or hosting some cheeseball award show. Chris Rock is a stand up comedian and a standup guy who carried on. I think I would have run.

Really had some trouble processing the cowardly assassination attempt last week. The former president, like him or not, is someone’s grandad, father, sibling, friend and husband. He simply presents a different position. Framing one’s opposition into an enemy is a radical strategy I experienced from the 60’s. It turns actual problem solving into an ego game of winning and losing thru word play. Consider problem solving to any issue and the truth will present itself in a difficult concept, compromise. Seek truth avoid a version of truth.
